suspicious - Story 145514 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Just a quick chat, Mike," Coach Henderson had said, his voice unusually soft. The words echoed in Michael's head like a death knell. He tried to focus on his warm-up stretches, but his muscles felt stiff, resistant.

He found himself glancing over at the other players, their easy camaraderie a stark contrast to his own internal turmoil. Every shared joke, every playful shove seemed to mock his fear.

He felt a sudden flush, a prickle of sweat on his forehead. The air felt thick, heavy, as though the oxygen had been replaced by something else entirely.
